1181 Buchanan Way offers a direct path to creating a home around your own plans rather than adapting to someone else’s renovation. Built in 1979, the home was arranged with four bedrooms and two bathrooms and includes a two-car garage, all on a corner lot in Mt. Eden. The property had a fire in February 2026, and the interior has since been gutted. With the interior cleared, the next owner can rebuild the previous layout or pursue a different floor plan. That means control over room sizes, kitchen placement, storage, finishes, lighting, plumbing, and electrical from the beginning. Reports show negative results for asbestos and lead paint. Lead-containing tiles were abated by a certified lead-abatement contractor. Mt. Eden is an established residential neighborhood with useful everyday amenities nearby. Eden Gardens Elementary and Anthony W. Ochoa Middle are each about a mile away, and Mt. Eden High is roughly two miles away. Mt. Eden Park offers a playground, picnic areas, open lawn, sports fields, and tennis. For walking, running, and time outdoors, Hayward Regional Shoreline has five miles of gravel trails along the Bay. Southland Mall and the Hesperian Boulevard corridor provide shopping, groceries, dining, and services, while I-880, SR-92, AC Transit, and Hayward-area BART stations help with trips around the East Bay and toward the Peninsula.
